your poor wife. I have a feeling with a class like this she's going to have one hell of a year. thanks to this post I have a feeling I'm going to be trying to figure out how "boinkity boinkity boink" came from "W"....

if I figure it out I'll let you know.....don't hold your breath.......

apparently and this is only a unconfirmed rumor, but there is a kid's show or something that uses the "bouncing ball" idea when sounding out something with the kids watching. kinda like a sing along thing I guess. and the ball makes a "bonk" sound when it makes a shape or letter.....no idea, I don't have kids myself, but my coworker has told me this....so...um...maybe the kid is watching this show? no idea for sure.....laters!

Back in college, I had to help teach a 5th grade class at an inner city school. I don't think there is much progression between kindergarten and 5th grade. I helped them "read" picture books. Like, there were no words. We talked about the pictures. More or less, they just asked me out on dates. Couldn't read, but ready to take the plunge into a relationship. Ahhh, priorities.

That cow picture is genius. Totally just laughed out loud at 1:30 am, waking up my fiance.
